That training jacket is mint.

Agree, but would prefer the same thing with a full length zipper, instead of a token half one.

That would make it a cardigan.

Exactly. Are you forgetting that muttley45 has just had a hip replacement?

And 100% wool or cotton?

Wool.

Yes, I have the image of Shannon paddling the ball to the boundary etched in to my brain.

..............alongside the memory of him getting rag dolled by opposition forwards in one on one contests.

How many times did we play him and Spud as "key position defenders" against Brown and Bradshaw?

He looks like some Chechen guerilla commander, giving an interview up in the snowy woods, who says "When the Russians leave my country, I wish to go home to my wife and daughters, until then I must keep killing Russians."

 

[The Warlord]

It's a rare specimen who looks much better heading to 40 than they did at 20.

Well, see here I have to put my hand up.

 

[King Corey]

You do a very well preserved hand.

 

[The Warlord]

You do a very well preserved hand.

You're meant to keep going with "despite all the work it gets".

Again, poor posting.

This type I presume

 

[Snake_Baker]

My sources claim its a beanie

Are you certain?

The last time I saw something resembling that, it was sitting on my grandmothers tea kettle.

 

[The Warlord]

Back then it were all fields round here.

 

[The Warlord]

We'd tie an onion on our belts before went to games, it was the fashion at the time.

Wow, your grandmother looks like she’s kept herself in good nick. Had pictured you as much older.

 

[ferball]

That training jacket is mint.

Its blue actually. Get your eyes tested.

 

[Bigeasy]

So, any training reports?

Anyone remember rd. 1 2001 ?

We had injuries and played a young side v all-conquering *scum MCG night game.
Watt at on stage leapt up in front of Lloyd who grabbed the neck of his jumper from behind, pulled him down backwards and caused him to smash his head on the ground. He lost consciousness and had a seizure Punt rd. end fwd. pocket.

Alot of admiration for Shannon post that and nothing but hatred for *Lloyd.

I was about to post this exact story. I recall it exactly as you described it. Sickening.

And Lloyd showed zero respect or concern.

And if I recall that might have been the same game where Michael Long had a couple of frees or marks about 40m out. He stalls till Lloyd is standing along side then fakes cramps to let Lloyd take the set shots, which of course he nailed. *in' cheats. Scum.

Easier to do up wearing mittens?

My oldest daughter reckons he'd look very much like me if i shaved my beard short and dyed heaps of my hair grey. He's 12 years younger.

Kids are great. But I also need to shave my eyebrows a bit.

The original official North site had a forum that was 40% dedicated to slagging off Shane Clayton and Stuey Cochrane. It was a shocker at times!!

And then it morphed into Shannon Watt
